Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave a flag
Yeah, the red, white, and blue
When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'
Yeah, they'll point the cannon at you
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me), it ain't me
I'm no millionaire's son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks born silver spoon in hand
Well, they help themselves, yeah
When the tax man comes to the door
House looks a like a rummage sale
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no millionaire's son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Yeah, when they send you down to war
Well, when you ask them how much you should give
Yeah, it's always more, more, more
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no senator's son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I'm no fortunate one
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no military son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no fortunate son
Take it away, Bono
Yeah, the red, white, and blue
When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'
Yeah, they'll point the cannon at you
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me), it ain't me
I'm no millionaire's son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks born silver spoon in hand
Well, they help themselves, yeah
When the tax man comes to the door
House looks a like a rummage sale
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no millionaire's son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Yeah, when they send you down to war
Well, when you ask them how much you should give
Yeah, it's always more, more, more
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no senator's son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I'm no fortunate one
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no military son
(It ain't me), it ain't me (it ain't me)
I ain't no fortunate son
Take it away, Bono
